YANKToN, Feb. 15.-The recent assault
made by Yankton correspondent against
Rev. c. F. Clapp. pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, has caused good deal Of in
dignation here. Both Mr.. Ward and Mr..
Clapp are highly respected here. but their
different ideas of the proper method of con-
Quoting church has led to a breach, in
which the friends Of both gentlemen have
become involved. Mr.. Clapp has no wish
to remain pastor of church where har-
mony does not prevail among its members.
and will soon take his departure for the
East. This disunion of members of the
church does not in the least affect the Con-
gregational college, of which Rev. James
Ward is the president, and the assertion
that Mr.. Clapp would nse his influence
against the college is absurd. There is no
use in magnifying the affair into large pro-
portions. 1t is simply difference of opin-
ion. and concerns only those who are in

The Late Railway Disaster.

FORREST, ILL.,, Aug. 12.-Dr. Vaughan, Of
Chatsworth, was almost the first to appear
at the scene Of the late railway disaster
He says "When I arrived / found there the
greatest confusion. He'll itself could not

clutch at straw to get saved. One man
held his dead wife and r dead little child 10
his arms while his own feet were broken

unfortunate mao of his burden and helped
to drag him out and bring him to a sleeper.
One of the greatest misfortunes was tho fact
that the wreck took place almost in des-
ere. 1t was impossible to accord the wound
ed sufficient assistance. There were no am
balances smoothing to carry them on. They
were dragged and pushed, and this accounts
for the great number of people who sue
cumbed to their pains

worth, was also one OF the first to arrive at
the scene. He says 81 had no time to Oh

of half an hour We had thirty-three people,

debris. Four cars were standing on the
track, and the only thing L know about
them il that carried wounded men and
women there"
AT the coroner's Inquest To day it was as
certained thai there were over six hundred
persons on the Inflated train. Seventy six
bodies have been recovered so far, and
others are known to be under the debris.
